Parents can rightfully assume that the school will keep them well informed regarding their son/daughter’s behavior. Teachers will keep parents informed of their child's behavior. This on-going reporting process may take different forms: phone calls, notes, conference, preprinted forms, etc. At the end of each reporting period, students will be given a behavior grade on his/her report card. Since jr. high is departmentalized, the teacher of each subject area will issue a separate behavior grade for his/her particular subject area. While a correlation may exist between behavior and academic progress, a student's academic grades will not be lowered due solely to poor or unacceptable behavior.  It is the assumption of the school that parents will be supportive of school policy and procedure.
